Tlie action of (lie Western Reserve Convention of the Fhrk Dkmockacv, lately holden at Cleveland, endorsing and nulling over the dishonest coalition which resulted in the election of Salmon P. Chase lo the Senate of the United Stales, appear! to have net j tied the question of the political morality of that party, , and must be taken as a declaration of the principle! j which nre In guide it in Ita future career. In endow ing Mr. Chase, and in expressing iheir joy over ma election, it cannot be possible that the men who com Dosed the Convention had the power, even it they de irrd, to abstract the electi-m from the measures which were employed to secure it. The means and ihe end are loo intimately connected ; and he who look upon the choice of the Senstnr of Ihe FheVUkmochact as a triumph of good morals and sound principles, must consider all the acts of chicanery which preceueu u, as a progress towards a triumph, of the same ele- iiienta. We cannot believe that any large number of the furmer.y Whigs of the Western Reserve are willing to untie themselves with Ihe new Fuke Dkmochacv upon any such terms as are fixed by the acts of this Convention; and it is obvious that it ts upon these terms only, that they can mule. Whatever may have been the oilier measures token into consideration at that meeting, and whatever resolution! and platforms may have been acted upon, it ii evident that the great object of that meeting was In give countenance to Mr. Giddings and his associates, Tuwnshend and Mow, by building up a pirty winch should owe its rise and origin to a meeting called In put the aeal of approvtil upon Iheir acts. Hence arose the Fiieb Demochacv or Ohio, lis fundamental principle is ihnt "Ms end justifies lint menus;" and if the practices of the past are to be taken as any guide for conjecture as to Ihe coming future, all the dark and crooked policy which naturally springs from so atrocious a doctrine will be found naturalized in ils acta. Rut that convention appears also to have taken upon itself the settlement of certain principles of morals, having no necessary connection Willi political events. Mr. Giddings the immaculate and coiiflcientioiis statesman who represents ao intelligent a constituency, tood charged before thai constituency with having taken, under false pretences, a considerable sum of inoney of ihe Government, and appropriated the same wrongfully to his own use. On being inquired of, in relation to this matter, does Mr. Giddmgs deny it? No; the proof is too strong to admit of a denial, even by a man so well able as he is to tell a falsehood and face it out. What then d'Ms he do ? lie admits il exults over it; nay, makes his own rascality the ground ol a new charge agunst the administration.

Nut an, Mr. Giddings ; and if the pub-tie action of the Convention is to be taken aa any guide to arrive at a knowledge of the private opinton of ils members, we arc to infer that the Fhkk Democracy of Ohio do not look upon peculation as a blemish, and that, in Hie i r view, obtaining money under false pre tenaes, is only wrong when practised by ihose who are not abate indictment and Ihe penitentiary. We look with some curiosity upon the manner in which these proceedings will be received by the pen pie of the Reserve. We cannot believe that the Iran-aient and ill gotten success which the nucleus of the Free Democracy achieved in the Legislature, last win-ter, will so chain the public reason and blind the pub lie conscience, as lo render them forgeiful of the unjustifiable mean! by winch it was secured.

We liml in the Cincinnati Alias of yesterday morning, the following account of the murder of a police olticer, while engaged in the pursuit of his olhcitil doty. The murderer, Jones, was convicted at the October term of Hamilton Common Pleas, IH I'i, of the crimes of burglary and larceny. He was p.irdoned out alter serving five years ul the. seven for which he was sen teiiced : Olticer llrashear was shot through the heart and in alimily killed on Sunday evening abuut half past ten o'clock, by a notorious thief named Jesse Jones, whom he was endeavoring to arreal. The atl'.tir took place near llehnrt's Mills, on the canul, m ar whul is culled tlie Corporation bridge. The. circumstances winch led to this unfortunate 11 Hair, are as follows : li seems that Jones, who is well known to the police as one of the moat adroit and accomplished burglars in the west, was strongly suspected of having been connected 111 the robbery of a house on Longworlh street. These suspicious becoming aiibseqiienlly confirmed, officers llraslienr and I nomas, on lust tSununy evening, en deavored to effect his arreal. The Mercury says that early 111 Ihe evening they heard of linn it a house on Mm street. 1 liey proceeded to Ihe bouse and learned that be hid been there nod was expected to rail again ill a shnrl lime. They had not waited long before he came lo a buck window, called to one of tlie girls m ihe house, and inquired it any ol the olhcers were about The girl replied in the negative, wi.eu Jones s.tid he would go across Ihe si reel to see a friend, and reiuru. 1'lie ollicers iiumedislely stiirted in pursuit of li'in Otlicer Tboinaa rushed through Ihe back door, Urasheiir run into the street, llrashear got sight of the thief, and pursued him to such purpose that after he had run about square, as he was entering a gate to a board yard, met linn, and instantly laid hold of him. II- had hardly put his hand upon him before the report of a pistol was heard, and with the cxel.v iintion," O Lord," o Ulcer Hruslu-ar dropped dead. He had received a pistol ball and slug in his heart. The murderer lied, and at the latest report had not been arrested. He was seen, however, shortly alter Ihe deed, and recognized, by a couple ot gentlemen, nenr the Whitewater bridge 011 Fiftli street Olticer llrashear had been on the night watch two years, and was but a short time since apixonti d on the day watch- He. was a vigilant and useful otlicer and was much respected, lie leaves a wite, and a daugh ter about fourteen years of age, to mourn his allocking and untimely end. He was about ihirly -eight years ol age Jones not long since served a term m the Ohm State pnsmi, and he is suspected on good grounds of having n engaged with lliwe in the robbery nt t.ol- tin' Jewelry store. He is descrilied aa a man of quite small stature about 5 feet inches in height, d irk hair, stoop shouldered, down cast 'ook, turns his (ret out when walking, sppeara to be weak in the knees. Had on when last seen, a very long dirk troca coal, light striped pants, and black cloih cap; one of his yes blacked, and a sear on one o Ins cheek bones. A reward of imp hundred dollars his been offered fur his sirest by Marshal Hutlin Pros re sb ol the Mormons. The settlement of the persecuted Mormons in the fur-oir Silt Lake Valley, making a sort of half way house between the western frontier and the Pacific, will prove of immense advantage to the United Slate! in peopling and civilizing those wild regions. The rapid increase of Ibis sect despite every obstacle is scarcely realized by thu public, and a late St. Lou is Organ thus notices the M irin-m progress: There is iu this city and neighborhood a body of them, which, III nigh constantly seinting oil detach metiia on their wav to the promised land," is still rapidly increasing The number in St L"iiis and vicinity is esi'iuaird al 3,i '0(1 Iu Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa, (including Mnesvillo on the Missouri nver,) there are computed to be &,0IU. In the great llaaiu and wesleru I'aliloruia, there are pro-badly I'J.iHiU more. The Mormons scattered else where over Ihe United States may swell the total Mormon strength 111 the Union to near otl,uV)u. In this aggreg.iie, which, allowing the mishaps of this "church" must be considered a heavy one, should be added for the large number of converts 111 England, Scotland, and Wales all of whom are either now preparing for removal to the United Stales or are king forward to some (mure and 110 dilant day. for thai, lo them, happy and much desired consilium lion. In Ihe United States, as in Great ilrilaiu, (his new church is receiving constant accessions from the ranks of farmers, mechanics and working men per sons to WI.0111, whatever else may tie said nl them, cannot be denied the vir:ues of strong lailh and earnest and sincere devotion to Ihe creed they haveadopted. 1 he popularity 01 such a creed is a remarkable fact in the history of Christendom. And its apparent vi lahty is no less sn. For it must be borne in mind that the M iruioiis are not a mere new sect of Christians. As Christians IheV ranrml be regarded, since they have supplemented Scripture by a new revelation i hey believe in direct and present intercourse with Deny ; they believe that angels from heaven are now cisioually appearing upon earth ; they behevr that Mormons are endowed With Ihe gift of prophecy; they believe that the new world is reserved for the Mormons to possess and lo enjoy and that probably the sett of the " New Jerusalem" will be at the Salt Lake.

FRENCH INTERVENTION IN ITALY. The nlfiirs of the Continent are still in a very dia traded rtite, though there are some blight spots iu the general gtnm. lo the (National Assembly of r ranee, on Monday, the President of the Council of Ministers made a com- uunicalion relative to the intervention of France 111 Itnlv. He slated, in suhstuuee, Ihul the counter tuuti of l he victories gained by the Austnans over the Pied- montese would lie fell throughout the wliok o Uen tntl Italy ; thai a crisis appeared to be imminent in the Roman Slates, and Ihui France would not rem. tin hi ijillerent In such a state ot things. He added, that the protection of natives of France, resident in Iiuly, the necessity of maintaining Ihe legitimate influence which France no longer possessed 111 Italy, and the de sire which the French Govenimetit felt lo contribute townrds obtaining for the Roman people a good gov- riiiiieiit,l)iicil upon liberal institutions, rendered il a luly of the Cubinet lo make use of' the Ii tie rty which ihe Assembly lind granted to it by ils vote of ilie'Joih ot March, to occupy temporarily the territory of that Pemnsuln. I he Minister said thai il was impossible for him to enter upon lurther details. Out -f the intervention of Fraucce would arise efficacious guaranties for French interests and lor the cause of liberty. On finishing the speech, M.

During the past week we ruado a riving excursion of business to Pittsburgh one of the most thrifty and nourishing cities of the West, if indeed uthe West"' has not so fur removed Us relative position within a few brief yeors past as to exclude Pittsburgh from within ils pale. There are those still living, who recollect the site of this Yankee Birmingham, aa Fort Pitt and perhaps some still l:ving among us who at an earlier period were accustomed to hear it designated Fort Duquesne. It was to this place that a colonial Governor of Virginia upon a time lent a young gentleman called George Washington,, (who afterward! acquired some celebrity in the world,) to quell Indian disturbance!, and plant the laws of civilization. It was here that about the lime a restless young Corsican was raising adust in France, a young sprig of the fallen Bourbon dynasty sought employment in the honorable calling of school-master. That same pedagogue subsequently attained, through the influence of" the good Lafayette," the more exalted, but nu more useful or honorable station of Citizen King, Another revolution in the wheel of fortune finds him again an exile and if his mental faculties still remain to him, he might perhaps yet make himself useful in his early vocation.But Pittsburgh is not now what it was when young Washington, nor when young Louis Philippe found a temporary home there. It is no longer an out post on the confines of civilization ; but a bustling, active, noisy, smoky, growing and wealthy city filled with enterprising and stirring men, and the bunks of its riven lined with freighted crafts from Ihe various re-irions between Olean, iu south - western New York, and St. Joseph, fur up Ihe Missouri. Though our slay iu Pittsburgh was brief, and our lime almost entirely occupied by Ihe business which called us there, we nevertheless found a few brief utervals cf time to look nfter smim of the many objects of attraction In be found there. Among these are the extensive glass-works of Mr. Thomas Ilahe- wtll, a name long and houoitbly identified with the enterprise and growth of that cily. Those who have not witnessed the process of manufacturing the various glass utensils, now so indispensable to nur every- lay wants, would he surprised to see how exceeding ly ductile is the material in the hands of the workman, and with what perfect facility it is made lo as sume any shape lie may be disposed to imparl to it. The business is carried on extensively by Mr. Bake- well, giving employment to a large number of men at:d bovs To he appreciated it must be seen. The Atitelttj iron Works also attract ihe attention of the observant traveler Here are iinuiiilW.tured everything, almost, made of malleable iron, nnd ninny nr ti les uf utility and fancy. Superior door locks, such as a few years since were brought from klngUnd, are now. nude at the Novelty Works in great abundance, and if audi a quality, and sn cheap, thai, we we e as- tuied, large quantit'es are luken over the mountains, lo supply the eastern demand! It were impossible lor a citizen of Columbus lo pass through these works, without calling up to mind al every turn, the proud association of our own IVler lliydeti. Such is the sort of men, after all, to make a town or tu transform a village into a cily. By Ihe politeness of Gen. More head, one of its Di rectors, we visited the H'tsttra Ptnitrntiarij, located in Allegheny City, opposite Pittsburgh. Tint iuli. to lion dilFers from the Ohio Penitentiary in that it is conducted upon the principle of s ditary cnnliue men!. You enter the institution without passing massive doors, or encountering guards. Tim edifice bu a stately appearance, and a beautiful lawn spreads in its front. In the front building are the "olhce," the parlor, and other suitable apartment! of the Superin tendent, Warden, or whatever he may he styled. Passing through this the visitor is ushered into a spa- cimis rotunda, from which rahate a number of hmg, vaulted halls but no convict, rind in habiliments to dcnoii- his condition, is seen ; nothing is presented to the view to denote that the visitor is wiilnn Ihe confines of a prison. We were conducted up a (light of stairs, and introduced into the apartment of a convict. The employment of the occupant was crimping boots ; hut hiving finished his day's work, he was whilmg away his time in writing. He had ornamented his room by painting il to resemble cheap wall-paper, and drawing some rude figures upon its sides. The gentlemen who accompanied us, conversed freely with him, nnd he was ready with a cheerful reply to their several inquiries. Wlien we withdrew, the door clo- d upnn him, and shut him nut from human society. Years may roll round before thai offender against the laws of society will be vchsafcd another interview with his fellow men.

Perhaps the innsi successful catch that has happened within Ihe memory of man, took place at Washington, when the administration, having tried every other means to entrap a sly old vermin, whose depredations hud caused great alarm at the White House, without avml, at length succeeded in nabbing him, in a trap skilfully baled Willi the constitutional currency The victim, who is no oilier than the conscientious Joshua R G'ddiugs himself, tells his own story, with an air of innocence perfectly irresistible. As reported in the Cleveland Herald, he said: " Whether this committee had made this increase in his nnlenge for the purpose, of entraapinjr him. and of then calling on him lor these nuplrasant explanations, lie could 110I say.

And we con imagine the perplexity of the situation in which he was placed, with the tempting morsel before him, and an appetite tit too strong f or the small amount of conscience available for active resistance. We can imagine how he rubbed his whiskers against the tooth ful morsel ; how he went away for a moment, casting back longing gltrices at the bait; how he looked here and there to see if he wa! observed ; how he touched il with his ptws, and look another snuff at Ihe dear temptation.

Ohio State Agricultural Fair. The great interest of Ohm is at preiient, undoubtedly, Ihe agricultural. With all our inexhaustible stores of coal and iron and salt, and the superior facilities we enjoy by our central position, nnd abundant means of communication with the neighboring States, it will be many years before manufacture! will occupy the attention of thu majority of our population. Every thing, therefore, that lends tn improvement in agriculture, must be of leading importance. Tlie Slate Board of Agriculture, organized under the law of Id 10-7, Ims labored with commendable xeal in the furtherance of Ibis object, by diffusing informn. lion, organizing new county societies, and stimulating the activity uf ihosu thai were previously established. The effects of these effort are making themselves appear in a variety of ways. More attention is paid to the improvement uf agricultural implements. Science is lending itself to the work, by an analysis of the constituent elements uf the different soila, investigating the action of manures, &a. The farmers themselves are aroused. County fairs are frequent, and all classes evince a new interest in the subject. The unexpected luces, of the District Fair, held at Xema in September last, under their supervision, together with Ihe great favor with which Stale Fain are received in New York, induced the Board, at its annual meeting in December, to resolve that Ihey would hold a Slate Fair during the present year, 11 if such encouragement was presented by the citiiens of any point in the State, as would justify ihe belief on the part of the Board, that suitable arrangements would be made for the exhibition, and such pecuniary aid could be had as would enable them tu offer suitable premiums." The citizens of Cincinnati have come forward and liberally pledged themselves Iq raise the necessary funds to make si! suitable arrangements. The First Suie Agricultural Fair will be held at Cincinnati, on the fiih, Gth and 7th days of September. The following plan has been issued by the committee appointed for the purpose : Plan and Spec Ifiratians of the Dnildingsand Enclosures proposed to tie rrrrted on thu fthaw Grounds for tht acfommodation of the Ohio Stain .ixrteulturnl Fair, to be held in Cincinnati on the oth, bin and 1th days nf September, P4J; The lot is to In1 enclosed by a close board fence, ten feel high, containing eight tu ten ncres.

In the middle of these iis, rows uf scantling are to be notched into their upper edge, to support Ihu middle of the boards forming the roof, which are placed up and down. A row of joists two inches thick, and eight inches wide, to be securely spiked to the lop of each row ol posts, and running the whole length of the building, to support the ends of the boards of the roof. The wn middle slopes of the roof will be made of boards sixteen feet long, and laid on double, so as to be wat-r light. The two outer slopes to he made of boards twelve feet long, laid on double.

Tlie action of (lie Western Reserve Convention of the Fhrk Dkmockacv, lately holden at Cleveland, endorsing and nulling over the dishonest coalition which resulted in the election of Salmon P. Chase lo the Senate of the United Stales, appear! to have net j tied the question of the political morality of that party, , and must be taken as a declaration of the principle! j which nre In guide it in Ita future career. In endow ing Mr. Chase, and in expressing iheir joy over ma election, it cannot be possible that the men who com Dosed the Convention had the power, even it they de irrd, to abstract the electi-m from the measures which were employed to secure it. The means and ihe end are loo intimately connected ; and he who look upon the choice of the Senstnr of Ihe FheVUkmochact as a triumph of good morals and sound principles, must consider all the acts of chicanery which preceueu u, as a progress towards a triumph, of the same ele- iiienta. We cannot believe that any large number of the furmer.y Whigs of the Western Reserve are willing to untie themselves with Ihe new Fuke Dkmochacv upon any such terms as are fixed by the acts of this Convention; and it is obvious that it ts upon these terms only, that they can mule. Whatever may have been the oilier measures token into consideration at that meeting, and whatever resolution! and platforms may have been acted upon, it ii evident that the great object of that meeting was In give countenance to Mr. Giddings and his associates, Tuwnshend and Mow, by building up a pirty winch should owe its rise and origin to a meeting called In put the aeal of approvtil upon Iheir acts. Hence arose the Fiieb Demochacv or Ohio, lis fundamental principle is ihnt "Ms end justifies lint menus;" and if the practices of the past are to be taken as any guide for conjecture as to Ihe coming future, all the dark and crooked policy which naturally springs from so atrocious a doctrine will be found naturalized in ils acta. Rut that convention appears also to have taken upon itself the settlement of certain principles of morals, having no necessary connection Willi political events. Mr. Giddings the immaculate and coiiflcientioiis statesman who represents ao intelligent a constituency, tood charged before thai constituency with having taken, under false pretences, a considerable sum of inoney of ihe Government, and appropriated the same wrongfully to his own use. On being inquired of, in relation to this matter, does Mr. Giddmgs deny it? No; the proof is too strong to admit of a denial, even by a man so well able as he is to tell a falsehood and face it out. What then d'Ms he do ? lie admits il exults over it; nay, makes his own rascality the ground ol a new charge agunst the administration.

Nut an, Mr. Giddings ; and if the pub-tie action of the Convention is to be taken aa any guide to arrive at a knowledge of the private opinton of ils members, we arc to infer that the Fhkk Democracy of Ohio do not look upon peculation as a blemish, and that, in Hie i r view, obtaining money under false pre tenaes, is only wrong when practised by ihose who are not abate indictment and Ihe penitentiary. We look with some curiosity upon the manner in which these proceedings will be received by the pen pie of the Reserve. We cannot believe that the Iran-aient and ill gotten success which the nucleus of the Free Democracy achieved in the Legislature, last win-ter, will so chain the public reason and blind the pub lie conscience, as lo render them forgeiful of the unjustifiable mean! by winch it was secured.

We liml in the Cincinnati Alias of yesterday morning, the following account of the murder of a police olticer, while engaged in the pursuit of his olhcitil doty. The murderer, Jones, was convicted at the October term of Hamilton Common Pleas, IH I'i, of the crimes of burglary and larceny. He was p.irdoned out alter serving five years ul the. seven for which he was sen teiiced : Olticer llrashear was shot through the heart and in alimily killed on Sunday evening abuut half past ten o'clock, by a notorious thief named Jesse Jones, whom he was endeavoring to arreal. The atl'.tir took place near llehnrt's Mills, on the canul, m ar whul is culled tlie Corporation bridge. The. circumstances winch led to this unfortunate 11 Hair, are as follows : li seems that Jones, who is well known to the police as one of the moat adroit and accomplished burglars in the west, was strongly suspected of having been connected 111 the robbery of a house on Longworlh street. These suspicious becoming aiibseqiienlly confirmed, officers llraslienr and I nomas, on lust tSununy evening, en deavored to effect his arreal. The Mercury says that early 111 Ihe evening they heard of linn it a house on Mm street. 1 liey proceeded to Ihe bouse and learned that be hid been there nod was expected to rail again ill a shnrl lime. They had not waited long before he came lo a buck window, called to one of tlie girls m ihe house, and inquired it any ol the olhcers were about The girl replied in the negative, wi.eu Jones s.tid he would go across Ihe si reel to see a friend, and reiuru. 1'lie ollicers iiumedislely stiirted in pursuit of li'in Otlicer Tboinaa rushed through Ihe back door, Urasheiir run into the street, llrashear got sight of the thief, and pursued him to such purpose that after he had run about square, as he was entering a gate to a board yard, met linn, and instantly laid hold of him. II- had hardly put his hand upon him before the report of a pistol was heard, and with the cxel.v iintion," O Lord," o Ulcer Hruslu-ar dropped dead. He had received a pistol ball and slug in his heart. The murderer lied, and at the latest report had not been arrested. He was seen, however, shortly alter Ihe deed, and recognized, by a couple ot gentlemen, nenr the Whitewater bridge 011 Fiftli street Olticer llrashear had been on the night watch two years, and was but a short time since apixonti d on the day watch- He. was a vigilant and useful otlicer and was much respected, lie leaves a wite, and a daugh ter about fourteen years of age, to mourn his allocking and untimely end. He was about ihirly -eight years ol age Jones not long since served a term m the Ohm State pnsmi, and he is suspected on good grounds of having n engaged with lliwe in the robbery nt t.ol- tin' Jewelry store. He is descrilied aa a man of quite small stature about 5 feet inches in height, d irk hair, stoop shouldered, down cast 'ook, turns his (ret out when walking, sppeara to be weak in the knees. Had on when last seen, a very long dirk troca coal, light striped pants, and black cloih cap; one of his yes blacked, and a sear on one o Ins cheek bones. A reward of imp hundred dollars his been offered fur his sirest by Marshal Hutlin Pros re sb ol the Mormons. The settlement of the persecuted Mormons in the fur-oir Silt Lake Valley, making a sort of half way house between the western frontier and the Pacific, will prove of immense advantage to the United Slate! in peopling and civilizing those wild regions. The rapid increase of Ibis sect despite every obstacle is scarcely realized by thu public, and a late St. Lou is Organ thus notices the M irin-m progress: There is iu this city and neighborhood a body of them, which, III nigh constantly seinting oil detach metiia on their wav to the promised land," is still rapidly increasing The number in St L"iiis and vicinity is esi'iuaird al 3,i '0(1 Iu Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Iowa, (including Mnesvillo on the Missouri nver,) there are computed to be &,0IU. In the great llaaiu and wesleru I'aliloruia, there are pro-badly I'J.iHiU more. The Mormons scattered else where over Ihe United States may swell the total Mormon strength 111 the Union to near otl,uV)u. In this aggreg.iie, which, allowing the mishaps of this "church" must be considered a heavy one, should be added for the large number of converts 111 England, Scotland, and Wales all of whom are either now preparing for removal to the United Stales or are king forward to some (mure and 110 dilant day. for thai, lo them, happy and much desired consilium lion.

And its apparent vi lahty is no less sn. For it must be borne in mind that the M iruioiis are not a mere new sect of Christians. As Christians IheV ranrml be regarded, since they have supplemented Scripture by a new revelation i hey believe in direct and present intercourse with Deny ; they believe that angels from heaven are now cisioually appearing upon earth ; they behevr that Mormons are endowed With Ihe gift of prophecy; they believe that the new world is reserved for the Mormons to possess and lo enjoy and that probably the sett of the " New Jerusalem" will be at the Salt Lake.

He slated, in suhstuuee, Ihul the counter tuuti of l he victories gained by the Austnans over the Pied- montese would lie fell throughout the wliok o Uen tntl Italy ; thai a crisis appeared to be imminent in the Roman Slates, and Ihui France would not rem. tin hi ijillerent In such a state ot things. He added, that the protection of natives of France, resident in Iiuly, the necessity of maintaining Ihe legitimate influence which France no longer possessed 111 Italy, and the de sire which the French Govenimetit felt lo contribute townrds obtaining for the Roman people a good gov- riiiiieiit,l)iicil upon liberal institutions, rendered il a luly of the Cubinet lo make use of' the Ii tie rty which ihe Assembly lind granted to it by ils vote of ilie'Joih ot March, to occupy temporarily the territory of that Pemnsuln. I he Minister said thai il was impossible for him to enter upon lurther details.

During the past week we ruado a riving excursion of business to Pittsburgh one of the most thrifty and nourishing cities of the West, if indeed uthe West"' has not so fur removed Us relative position within a few brief yeors past as to exclude Pittsburgh from within ils pale. There are those still living, who recollect the site of this Yankee Birmingham, aa Fort Pitt and perhaps some still l:ving among us who at an earlier period were accustomed to hear it designated Fort Duquesne. It was to this place that a colonial Governor of Virginia upon a time lent a young gentleman called George Washington,, (who afterward! acquired some celebrity in the world,) to quell Indian disturbance!, and plant the laws of civilization. It was here that about the lime a restless young Corsican was raising adust in France, a young sprig of the fallen Bourbon dynasty sought employment in the honorable calling of school-master. That same pedagogue subsequently attained, through the influence of" the good Lafayette," the more exalted, but nu more useful or honorable station of Citizen King, Another revolution in the wheel of fortune finds him again an exile and if his mental faculties still remain to him, he might perhaps yet make himself useful in his early vocation.But Pittsburgh is not now what it was when young Washington, nor when young Louis Philippe found a temporary home there. It is no longer an out post on the confines of civilization ; but a bustling, active, noisy, smoky, growing and wealthy city filled with enterprising and stirring men, and the bunks of its riven lined with freighted crafts from Ihe various re-irions between Olean, iu south - western New York, and St. Joseph, fur up Ihe Missouri. Though our slay iu Pittsburgh was brief, and our lime almost entirely occupied by Ihe business which called us there, we nevertheless found a few brief utervals cf time to look nfter smim of the many objects of attraction In be found there. Among these are the extensive glass-works of Mr. Thomas Ilahe- wtll, a name long and houoitbly identified with the enterprise and growth of that cily. Those who have not witnessed the process of manufacturing the various glass utensils, now so indispensable to nur every- lay wants, would he surprised to see how exceeding ly ductile is the material in the hands of the workman, and with what perfect facility it is made lo as sume any shape lie may be disposed to imparl to it. The business is carried on extensively by Mr. Bake- well, giving employment to a large number of men at:d bovs To he appreciated it must be seen. The Atitelttj iron Works also attract ihe attention of the observant traveler Here are iinuiiilW.tured everything, almost, made of malleable iron, nnd ninny nr ti les uf utility and fancy. Superior door locks, such as a few years since were brought from klngUnd, are now. nude at the Novelty Works in great abundance, and if audi a quality, and sn cheap, thai, we we e as- tuied, large quantit'es are luken over the mountains, lo supply the eastern demand! It were impossible lor a citizen of Columbus lo pass through these works, without calling up to mind al every turn, the proud association of our own IVler lliydeti. Such is the sort of men, after all, to make a town or tu transform a village into a cily. By Ihe politeness of Gen. More head, one of its Di rectors, we visited the H'tsttra Ptnitrntiarij, located in Allegheny City, opposite Pittsburgh. Tint iuli. to lion dilFers from the Ohio Penitentiary in that it is conducted upon the principle of s ditary cnnliue men!. You enter the institution without passing massive doors, or encountering guards. Tim edifice bu a stately appearance, and a beautiful lawn spreads in its front. In the front building are the "olhce," the parlor, and other suitable apartment! of the Superin tendent, Warden, or whatever he may he styled. Passing through this the visitor is ushered into a spa- cimis rotunda, from which rahate a number of hmg, vaulted halls but no convict, rind in habiliments to dcnoii- his condition, is seen ; nothing is presented to the view to denote that the visitor is wiilnn Ihe confines of a prison. We were conducted up a (light of stairs, and introduced into the apartment of a convict. The employment of the occupant was crimping boots ; hut hiving finished his day's work, he was whilmg away his time in writing. He had ornamented his room by painting il to resemble cheap wall-paper, and drawing some rude figures upon its sides. The gentlemen who accompanied us, conversed freely with him, nnd he was ready with a cheerful reply to their several inquiries.

We can imagine how he rubbed his whiskers against the tooth ful morsel ; how he went away for a moment, casting back longing gltrices at the bait; how he looked here and there to see if he wa! observed ; how he touched il with his ptws, and look another snuff at Ihe dear temptation.

Ohio State Agricultural Fair. The great interest of Ohm is at preiient, undoubtedly, Ihe agricultural. With all our inexhaustible stores of coal and iron and salt, and the superior facilities we enjoy by our central position, nnd abundant means of communication with the neighboring States, it will be many years before manufacture! will occupy the attention of thu majority of our population. Every thing, therefore, that lends tn improvement in agriculture, must be of leading importance. Tlie Slate Board of Agriculture, organized under the law of Id 10-7, Ims labored with commendable xeal in the furtherance of Ibis object, by diffusing informn. lion, organizing new county societies, and stimulating the activity uf ihosu thai were previously established. The effects of these effort are making themselves appear in a variety of ways. More attention is paid to the improvement uf agricultural implements. Science is lending itself to the work, by an analysis of the constituent elements uf the different soila, investigating the action of manures, &a. The farmers themselves are aroused. County fairs are frequent, and all classes evince a new interest in the subject. The unexpected luces, of the District Fair, held at Xema in September last, under their supervision, together with Ihe great favor with which Stale Fain are received in New York, induced the Board, at its annual meeting in December, to resolve that Ihey would hold a Slate Fair during the present year, 11 if such encouragement was presented by the citiiens of any point in the State, as would justify ihe belief on the part of the Board, that suitable arrangements would be made for the exhibition, and such pecuniary aid could be had as would enable them tu offer suitable premiums." The citizens of Cincinnati have come forward and liberally pledged themselves Iq raise the necessary funds to make si! suitable arrangements. The First Suie Agricultural Fair will be held at Cincinnati, on the fiih, Gth and 7th days of September. The following plan has been issued by the committee appointed for the purpose : Plan and Spec Ifiratians of the Dnildingsand Enclosures proposed to tie rrrrted on thu fthaw Grounds for tht acfommodation of the Ohio Stain .ixrteulturnl Fair, to be held in Cincinnati on the oth, bin and 1th days nf September, P4J; The lot is to In1 enclosed by a close board fence, ten feel high, containing eight tu ten ncres.

In the middle of these iis, rows uf scantling are to be notched into their upper edge, to support Ihu middle of the boards forming the roof, which are placed up and down. A row of joists two inches thick, and eight inches wide, to be securely spiked to the lop of each row ol posts, and running the whole length of the building, to support the ends of the boards of the roof. The wn middle slopes of the roof will be made of boards sixteen feet long, and laid on double, so as to be wat-r light. The two outer slopes to he made of boards twelve feet long, laid on double.
